Huddersfield Road, OL3 5EQ

Set behind beautifully tended and substantial gardens, this charming character home offers almost 1,500 sq. ft of accommodation, making it an ideal choice for family purchasers seeking additional space both internally and externally. The property is understood to have been built in two stages, with part of the home dating back approximately 80 years, and a later addition constructed around 50 years ago. The design has been thoughtfully integrated, ensuring the overall appearance remains in keeping with neighbouring properties and the surrounding settings. Easily accessible from both the front and rear, where there is ample off-road parking, personal viewing of the ground floor will reveal an entrance hall which opens into a versatile room, previously used as a home office. A farmhouse-style kitchen is fitted with a composite sink, range cooker and generous worktop space, while the large dining room features double doors leading out to the well-stocked and mature garden. The spacious and welcoming lounge features mullion windows, an exposed stone and brick fireplace, and parquet wooden flooring, creating a comfortable living space with character features. To the first floor are three bedrooms, all of which are good-sized doubles, along with a family bathroom comprising a wash hand basin and panelled bath with shower over. A separate WC is located adjacent, and a useful storage room housing the boiler and plumbing for a washing machine completes the accommodation. The generous room sizes of this versatile home provide potential for creating a fourth bedroom and/or an open-plan kitchen dining area - please see the additional floorplan for a layout suggestion. The property benefits from smart heating controls and is warmed by an ‘Ideal Logic+’ combination boiler, with well-maintained hardwood double glazed windows further enhancing comfort and efficiency. Externally, to the rear, there is off-road parking for up to three vehicles, two storage sheds, and steps leading to an elevated seating area with a further shed and wood store. The absence of public access across the property adds to the sense of privacy. To the front, there is a mature and well-established enclosed garden with both lawn and patio areas, featuring a wide variety of shrubs and planting to provide interest throughout the year. The kitchen garden is well stocked with a range of plants, herbs and fruit trees. Raised beds have been used to grow a selection of vegetables, while a greenhouse provides space for tomatoes, herbs and further produce. Delph Lodge can be found just off Huddersfield Road, on the fringes of the popular village of Delph in Saddleworth. A range of local amenities, including pubs, cafés and wine bars, are within walking distance, and the property is well placed for access to neighbouring villages such as Dobcross, Diggle and Uppermill.
